well, gee, after 30 years of force-feeding people that having children would destroy the planet and they would live miserable little lives, it’s no surprise that the ‘college educated’ would buy into that.
In America we were asked to limit our children, so we could preserve our country and resources for our grandchildren who could go to smaller schools which would enhance learning. Our footprint on the world would be less, and that was a good thing, not only for the planet, but to preserve our natural and national treasures - those same resources and schools now being eaten up by illegals, who we are supposed to accept now because ‘we need people’.
But the question isn’t asked - what’s so wrong with a smaller population country? Why is it something that now needs to be fixed? Why is a population drop such an emergency? Because it isn’t. But guilt-trip articles meant to gain sympathy for forced migration do seem to be everywhere.
